A twenty-item Sungazing Survey on Cosolargy.org elicited responses by posting a link to the survey on several Facebook sites four different times, from May 2017 to July 2017. Some respondents did not respond to every single question, which accounts for percentage anomalies in the results.
Fifty-six people responded to these Facebook posts, none of whom indicated any association with Cosolargy. Thirty-two were male. Twenty-four were female. About a quarter of the respondents had been sungazing for less than 6 months, and almost 20{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909} for more than five years.
Reports of Physical Changes:
Two-thirds reported a decrease in sleep.
84{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909} said there was a reduction in their caloric intake.
These responses are interesting because they both relate to functions of the hypothalamus.
The hypothalamus is located at the ventral base of the brain directly above the pituitary gland. This structure is quite small, only 4 grams, taking up about 0.5{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909} of the volume of the entire brain. It is often divided into ten areas, associated with functions including: hunger, thirst, thermogenisis, sexual activity, goal-seeking behavior, endocrine functions, and influencing activity in the parasympathetic nervous system. Orexin is also produced in the hypothalamus. Orexin is associated with vigilence and wakeful states: people who suffer from narcolepsy seem to have a deficiant orexin-system and respond positively to pharmeceutical orexin. You can read more about this fascinating hypothalamic structure and it’s association with sunlight at: “Sunlight: Oxytocin and Orexin”
These responses are also interesting because only about 90{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909} of neural-retinal information is dedicated to image construction. Some of the retinal information has projections to the brainstem area, where blinking and some saccadic eye movements are mediated. Retinal projections also reach the superchiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a collection of neurons that make up part of the hypothalamic structure. The SCN is the first stop for optical-neural information in the retinal-hypothalamic pathway.
During sungazing sessions, people reported the following:
Breath suspension: 32{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909}
Time disassociation: 50{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909}
Symbols in or around the sun: 30{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909}
Double suns: 59{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909}
Sun changing from dark to light: 64{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909}
In reporting all of the phenomena in this survey, almost 25{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909} said it would be advantageous to have a teacher who had learned from others who practiced the art and science of sungazing for generations. 25{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909} also reported knowing more than three sungazing techniques.
Most sungazers had perceived the sun to change colors:
41{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909} reported one color change
11{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909} reported perceived the sun in two different color changes
16{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909} said they had seen the sun to appear in three or more different colors
(The color choices provided were: red, blue, green, and violet .)
Negative Repercussions:
Two of the fifty-six participants felt their eyes were harmed as a result of practicing sungazing.*
* These people were not following the methods taught in Cosolargy.

El Cardonal cactus on Baja property.
The Church has recently made arrangements to purchase 2.5 acres of beachfront property in Baja California Sur, Mexico to establish a Cosolargy Center there. It is hoped that this center will serve as the headquarters for Cosolargy International in the Spanish-speaking world. The proposed name for the center there is “The Retreat at El Cardonal: Health, Healing & Wellness Center.”
The property is located in the beautiful area of El Cardonal, a 25-minute drive north of Los Barriles on the east coast of the peninsula on the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez). A parcel map of the property shows three elongated beachfront lots on the east, one back lot to the west, and an L-shaped access easement. The property has been purchased and the Charter and the documents for the Mexico corporation have already been completed. (Links are provided below.)

During the last week of April Bishop Gene Savoy Jr visited the area again with several purposes in mind: to 1) close the property land purchase; 2) meet with property owners adjacent to us; 3) meet with local and state government officials; 4) talk to the contractor and architect about design plans for the project; 5) meet with doctors in the area who may be able to help us with the concept of a retirement facility. Gene’s nineteen-year-old daughter Sonya accompanied him to get her citizenship and see the scope of the project with an eye to helping out sometime in the future.
While visiting the property, Gene took a number of photos of the property and of the views from the property in different directions. We are sharing some of these in the gallery below so that those of you who have not yet visited the property can get a sense of its location and environs.

Gary Buchanan “Alone with My Thoughts” interview
Gary Buchanan is featured in “Cymatics with Gary Robert Buchanan,” episode 21 of a series of film interviews on Healing with Frequency and Sound made by Adam Abraham. This is a 50-minute film interview recorded earlier this year at Steamboat Healing Center.
In the film, Gary discusses the principles of vibration, light, and sound that underlie Sonatherapy, and some of the dramatic improvements he has seen or facilitated. The film also contains some nice drone footage of Steamboat and even some of Red Rock Consecrated Sanctuary.
In the film Adam Abraham of the International Light Association visits the Steamboat Healing Center and Spa, in Reno, Nevada, and talks with Gary Robert Buchanan, DMA, Director of Research.
“The center is one of the few places in the world that offers Sonatherapy, a non-invasive approach that utilizes sound, color, light, water and subtle energies,” say Adam. “Biological vibrations that have been meticulously captured in analog form and scientifically proven beneficial to the body and its energetic fields help restore discordant and disrupted information patterns.”
The video has just been released in conjunction with the online magazine Science to Sage. which will be running two upcoming issues on Gary Buchanan’s presentation to the International Light Association in Fort Lauderdale on May 3, 2017. While Gary’s presentations will be the lead stories, the two-part series will be on Sonatherapy and the underlying archetypal science as well as a full layout on sun-gazing, ancient religions, and the International Community of Christ, Red Rock Consecrated Sanctuary, and all of us “sun-gazers.” And there will be LOTS of photos.
Watch the interview with Gary Buchanan published Jun 27, 2017on You Tube (49:45).
The Community Communique will provide links to the magazine articles as soon as they are available.

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE
Monday, June 12, 2017
Today I am pleased to report that last week was a week full of positive news for The Community.
First and foremost, we received official documents from the Mexican government on our incorporation there as Cosolargy Internacional, A.C. We also received the recorded Deed of Trust to the property in El Cardonal in the state of Baja California Sur in the name of our corporation and made the first monthly payment on the property.
Second, The Community prevailed in a lawsuit that was filed against us in January of this year which sought to encumber extensive property of the Church and which also questioned our internal affairs and government. The suit was dismissed by the state district court here in Reno. The winding up of the lawsuit at this point are mere formalities.
Third, attorneys working for The Community in Auckland, New Zealand finished drafting our incorporation papers, which were signed on Saturday, June 10. While we have yet to ultimately determine what our course of action will be “down under,” it is important for us to establish ourselves wherever and whenever the correct opportunities arise.
Last, you may know that I have been writing a book since my return from hospital in San Diego last December. While I was there, I retained a literary agent who has been coaching me to write the book. The first draft has been completed, and it is now in the professional editing stage. I hear that there are some publishers who may be interested in it. We will see.
Nevertheless, these are all things to celebrate and be grateful for.
We have been touching lately on the concept of the End Times and the Second Coming. The end of days, or the End Times, is the time that precedes the Golden Age of Light, which is the Second Advent; that is, the return of all life to the Original State which was the First Advent – the Original or First Creation of Light. However, intermingled in these two cosmic events of Rebirth which co-mingles Spirit with matter, is the Great Tribulation.
The Tribulations were foretold by the prophets of old. The planet is definitely in this period of strife, turmoil and destruction. As great battles are taking place here between man and nature, so these battles are also being waged among the Powers of Light and Darkness in the higher dimensions. However, we do know that, in spite of the Tribulations, God is using His Supernatural Powers of Creation to redeem Souls that are part of His Spiritual Kingdom – redemption thus being placed outside the realm of formalized doctrine and the established religions of the past.
The Second Advent of God, which was the basis of the Ministry of Christ, Jesus, was that God Himself would manifest through the Sun of Righteousness to intercede as Messiah, Savior and Redeemer of the entire human family for the final and ultimate Restoration of the Creation gone astray. The Kingdom of Light, although co-mingled with matter, is not part of the physical universe and is unattainable by the natural senses, emotions or mind. It is only attainable by the awakened Spirit made a Conscious Soul brought to birth by God’s Image and Word appearing in Divine Light.
As Cosolargy teaches, this birth is the result of a creative reproduction in which the living, breathing Soul arises from a union of human Spirit and the Seminal Reason of God’s Word transported by the image of solar light. Seminal Reason, within the agency of light, impregnates the fertile Spirit, and a new Soul is conceived. In its initial stages of development, the Soul receives its nourishment from the sun. In later stages of maturity, it feeds on the Divine Presence in the Spiritual Sun, a source of light and energy in the Spiritual Universe.
Jesus taught on this Divine Process of procreation and rebirth of the Soul as essential to immortality. We, in the Second Advent Ministry, which is heir to Jesus’ Ministry, teach the same process by means of the System of Cosolargy and the Sacred Teachings of Light.
We will touch more on this next week. In the meantime, ….
Once again, please feel free to ask me any questions by calling 775-786-7432 or emailing me at messages@cosolargy.org. I am always at your service.

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE
Monday, May 22, 2017
Greetings!
I write to you from Reno having just returned from my travels on behalf of our Community a couple of days ago. The trips, especially to Japan, were quite fruitful.
Last Monday, one week ago, Bishop Yuki and I along with a company of Community members traveled from our Center in Kurume, Japan northwest to a place called Itoshima on the Genkai Gulf on the Korean Strait. The purpose of this trip was to determine a general area to relocate our Japan Community in the coming few years.
While Kurume has served us well, it is time, as the Community expands, to venture nearer to Fukuoka City, a major metropolitan cultural and technological hub. Our plans to relocate 30 minutes away from Fukuoka to the Itoshima area will be further explained in September.
We spent the day there and were pleased to witness two very important and significant signs that reinforced the good work we are doing in that country. At the noon hour, the sun full of light and splendor, was encircled by a giant rainbow. That rainbow-colored sun was graced by a hawk circling above us the entire afternoon as if saluting us on our mission. Needless to say, while the picture will give you a glimpse of what we saw, it will not compare to the actual event. We were all awe-inspired at the manifestation we beheld!
While I will continue updating you from time to time on events, happenings and progress in The Community, next week I will resume a more inspirational tone. I find those kinds of messages to be of significant help to me, as I hope they are for you. Until then, I send you my best thoughts and prayers.
Once again, please feel free to ask me any questions by calling 775-786-7432 or emailing me at messages@cosolargy.org. I am always at your service.
Many blessings in Light+,
Gene

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE
Ohayo gozaimasu kara Nihon. I send you greetings from Japan.
I write to you this week from The Community’s center in Kurume, Japan, which is in the Fukuoka Prefecture on the island of Kyushu. I have been asked by our members here to send you their greetings, which I do.
We are finishing up a very productive and enjoyable week full of many blessings and joyfulness. I arrived last week and gave a two-hour long talk on Thursday, May 11th (the date of my father’s birth in 1927) to members and potential new members — about 40 people in all — on the history of The Community, my father’s quest for spiritual Truth, our plans for the future not only in Japan but in other parts of the world, including the United States and the Americas, and answered questions from those in attendance. The presentation, which was translated by our Bishop Yukinori, was well-received.
On Saturday, May 13th, several Ministers and I performed Communion Service of rice cakes and water in preparation for Sunday’s Sunrise Service. The Communion service was followed by ordinations for five members to the first and second levels. We then all partook of a common meal which several ladies of The Community had prepared.
On Sunday, May 14th, Bishop Yuki performed a purification rite on the site we have been using outside of Kurume for some time. The place is called Shono-toge. Following the purification or blessing of the place, Sunrise Divine Service in Japanese and English was performed by Bishop Yuki and myself assisted by other Ministers here in Japan.
Later in the day, we visited a Shinto shrine and a Buddhist temple called Naritasan and had a banquet together later in the evening. I am including with this communication a collage of photos of our weekend which should give you an idea of our experiences this week.
Today, Monday, I travel with Bishop Yuki to the coast to discuss our next plans in Japan. Next week, I will be back in Reno for the duration of the Summer. I hope to see you at The Community’s annual convocation on September. Your invitation to attend will be on its way to you this week. Please contact the Chancellery at 775-786-7431 if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoy the photos, and I look forward to sharing with you next week.
Gene
